Communicating Analytical Results
The first level of data analysis has to do with visualization. Visualization techniques take the data we have gathered and present it to human analysts and decision-makers. These different visualizations can then be further grouped into reports, business intelligence dashboards, animations, and so on. The objective is to help humans achieve greater insight into the data than would be possible by simply looking at the raw data. This video covers the basic principles of data visualization. Note the characteristics of the various types of visualization. Then, think about the data you use to make decisions in your professional or personal life. How would visualization aid you in understanding what the data is telling you? What type of visualization would you use?
